Contact us for a quote, and the price is based on:
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many guests we are serving
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Parking and the route in
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What power and water the site has
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Elmstone
A taco bar at a wedding feels relaxed and generous. Guests build their own plates from warm tortillas, fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue becomes a chance to chat. At day-after celebrations and garden and marquee weddings, we will put together a menu of evening tacos, burrito bowls and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and more.
A wedding in a small place like Elmstone often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a food truck comes into its own: no kitchen, just firm ground and access. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. In Elmstone, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, so evening tacos are normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- We start by checking your date.
- You pick the menu with us.
- We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Weddings in Elmstone: venues, ceremonies and travel
Elmstone is about 7 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Whether your wedding is in the middle of Elmstone or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Elmstone is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring wedding Mexican catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Elmstone to Canterbury (about 7 miles away).
Around Elmstone, historic houses include Goodnestone Park (3.9 miles south). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on outside caterers and vehicles. If you’re marrying at a church near Elmstone, such as Elmstone Church, a reception in a garden, field or venue nearby keeps the day flowing. Service can start as guests arrive.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.

Allergen information is available for every dish, and dishes are labelled.
